1986 Map of Lemolo Lake

About this map

Umpqua National Forest surrounds the vital hydroelectric infrastructure of the North Umpqua River in the mid-1980s. This survey details the complex water management system supporting the Lemolo Power Plant No 1, including the prominent Canal No 1 and a Penstock that bypasses the natural drop of Lemolo Falls. The landscape is defined by its volcanic origins and steep topography, featuring landmarks such as Dread and Terror Ridge, Elephant Mountain, and the expansive Pumice Flat. Recreational development is heavily concentrated around Lemolo Lake, where several campsites like the Poole Creek Campground and Bunker Hill Campground sit alongside numerous boat ramps. Further south, the map captures the transition into Mowich Park and the headwaters of the Clearwater River, illustrating a region dedicated to both energy production and wilderness preservation.
